It would be nice if someone could, but no one has been able to yet, or if one has, those in the know aren't admitting it.

I think you skipped something. His question wasn't regarding what the C stood for, it was about his 360v64 or c63.

He SHOULD have started a new thread, but whatever.

Sorry for misunderstanding the question. There's been a lengthy, unresolved thread that asks the question "what word in the English language does 'C' stand for"? JH and the other few souls who know are sworn to secrecy and won't give up the answer to the question, even if the correct answer has been guessed.

Back to your question:

If your guitar is a six string, then it's a V64. There are no double bound six string C63 models, at least not yet. Many forum members hope and pray that this will not always be the case.

If your guitar is a 12 string, then look at the toasters. If they have any slot headed screws on them then your guitar is a C63, if the pickups have only Phillips/cross head screws, then the guitar is a V64. There is also a difference in the fretboard radius; the V64 has a flatter, modern style fretboard radius, while the C63 has the authentic 60s era curved fretboard radius. Unfortunately, I do not have pics of the fretboard radius, so I can't post pics of the difference. I hope this helps.
